You can enjoy picture of high-fidelity color reproduction by connecting the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on the player to your TV.
NOTES · Connect “Y” to “Y,” “PB” to “PB” (CB), “PR” to “PR” (CR) correctly. · When using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, do not
connect the S-VIDEO output jack on the player. · If your TV has component video input jacks of BNC type, use an
adapter which converts a pin jack to a BNC jack (not supplied).
Progressive scan video playback available
In the Progressive scanning mode, you can enjoy high quality picture with less flickers when the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks are connected to a TV or monitor that supports the progressive video input. · The Progressive scanning mode works for the NTSC color
system format only.

About the scanning mode
Depending on the material source format, DVD VIDEO discs can be classified into two types; film source and video source (note that some DVD VIDEO discs contain both film source and video source). Film sources are recorded as 24 -frame-persecond information, while (NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30 -frame-per-second (60-field-per-second interlaced) information. When the player plays back a film source material, uninterlaced progressive output signals are created using the original information. When a video source material is played back, the player interleaves lines between the interlaced lines on each to create the interpolated picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

Selecting the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR position · If your television accomodates the PAL color system format and
does not support the progressive scanning mode: Set the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR to “PAL 625i.” · If your television accomodates the NTSC color system format and does not support the progressive scanning mode: Set the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR to “NTSC 525i.” · If your television accomodates the NTSC color system format and supports the progressive sanning mode: Set the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR to “NTSC 525i/p REMOTE.” Thus you can select the desired scanning mode using the remote control unit.
Activating the Progressive scanning mode using the remote control unit When the player is turned on and the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR is set to “NTSC 525i/p REMOTE,” press and hold down VFP – I/P for a few seconds. The scanning mode switches between the Progressive scanning and Interlaced scanning modes.
When the scanning mode is set to the Progressive mode, the [P] indicator lights up in the display window. Depending on the [PICTURE SOURCE] preference display and whether the current DVD VIDEO disc is film-source or videosource, the indicator that lights up in the display window differs, as shown in the table below.

Restarting playback after stopping (resuming playback)
The player resumes playback from the position you interrupted playback, as long as the disc you interrupted playback is still on the disc tray. This is because the player’s resume mode is set to ON when you purchased the player. When the resume mode is set to ON, the player memorizes the position on a disc where you interrupted playback. · When you press 7 to interrupt playback, the TV screen shows
[RESUME STOP] and the [RESUME] indicator lights up in the display window. · When you re-start playback, the TV screen shows [RESUME PLAY].
Hint
The memory of the interrupted position is not cleared even if you turn off the player. To play back from the beginning Press 7 while the disc is stopped. The memory is cleared. Then press 3 (SELECT). NOTES · The player remembers the interrupted position even if you turn
the power off. · The memory is cleared if you open the disc tray.

Changing the resume mode
The player has three resume modes; ON, OFF and DISC RESUME. · You can select the mode using the preference display (see
page 26).
When the resume mode is “OFF” Playback always starts from the beginning.
When the resume mode is “DISC RESUME” The player memorizes interrupted positions for the last 30 discs played. Storing a new interrupted position will erase the interrupted position stored for the first disc. The memory of the interrupted positions are not cleared even if you open the disc tray or turn off the player.
NOTES · If you change the [RESUME] setting from [DISC RESUME] to
[OFF] or [ON], you cannot resume playback of a disc whose “resuming” position is stored. However, when you again set [RESUME] to [DISC RESUME], you will then be able to resume playback of the disc. · If you interrupt the playback of a disc for which an interrupted position has already been stored, the memory will be updated with the new interrupted position. · For a double-sided DVD VIDEO disc, the player regards each side as a different disc. Therefore, to resume playback of such a disc, the disc must be inserted with the same side down. · When the player memorizes an iterrupted point for a disc, it also memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings. · The player may not resume playback exactly from the interrupted point. In the case of an SVCD/Video CD disc with PBC function, the player may resume playback from a point slightly earlier or later than the point where playback was interrupted.

The player can play back MP3/JPEG/MPEG-4 (simple profile/asf file) files on either a personally recorded CD-R/RW disc, or a commercially available CD. You can select and play back files using the Control display on the TV screen. · The player may be unable to play back a disc due to the
characteristics or recording conditions.
Precautions
About files and folders (groups) on the disc
· Files are sometimes grouped into folders by genre, album, etc. In this manual, “group” is also referred to as “folder.”
· A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group. · The player can detect and play back the groups which are
located up to the fifth layer. · The files in the Control display are arranged by the alphabetical
order of extensions as follows: “.asf,” “.jpeg” and “.mp3.” · Time required for reading the disc contents may vary for
different discs, depending on the numbers of folders (groups) and files recorded, etc. · Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group 1.”

Notes for making your own disc using a CD-R/CDRW disc
· Use “ISO 9660” as the disc format. · The player does not support “packet writing (UDF file)” discs. · The player supports discs recorded with up to five multiple
sessions. · Some discs may not play due to disc characteristics or
recording conditions.
Notes for making files/groups
· If a file name includes even one 2-byte character, the player may not show the file name correctly.
· The player supports up to 12 characters as the group/file names.
· The player can only recognize files with one of the following extensions, which can be in any combination of upper and lower case: – For MP3 files, “.MP3,” “.mp3.” – For JPEG files, “.JPG,” “.JPEG,” “.jpg,” “.jpeg.” – For MPEG-4 files, “.ASF,” “.asf.”
· For MP3 files: – It is recommended that you record your material at a 44.1 kHz sampling rate, using the 128 kbps data transfer rate. – ID 3 Tag is not available. – MP3i and MP3 Pro are not available.
· For JPEG files: – We recommend you to record your material at a 640 x 480 pixel resolution. – This player supports the baseline JPEG and progressive JPEG formats. – The player does not support a baseline-formatted picture of more than 5120 x 3413 pixels. Make sure that the pictures pixel size is 5120 x 3413 pixels or less. – The player cannot play back a progressive JPEG file of more than 2048 x 1536 pixels. – Depending on the TV used, the border area of the picture may be cut off.
· For MPEG-4 files: – This player supports the type of simple profile and asf as MPEG-4 files. – To play back MPEG-4 files created on a digital still/video camera on this player, record them on a CD-R/RW disc and play it back. – The size of the playback screen will be the same size as it is recorded. – Some recorded files may not be able to be played back depending on file characteristics, kind of digital still/video cameras, or recording conditions. – Some MPEG-4 files created on a personal computer may not be played back.

Picture is distorted when using COMPONENT VIDEO OUT or S-VIDEO output jack(s). Both the component connection and S-video connection are
made. Disconnect the unused one.
No picture is displayed on the TV screen or the screen is blurred or divided into two parts. The player is in the progressive scanning mode though it is
connected to a TV via the VIDEO or S-VIDEO jack. Observe the display window. If [P] is turned on, the player is in the progressive scanning mode. Set the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR on the rear panel to “NTSC 525i/p REMOTE” and make the Progressive scanning mode inactive by using the VFP – I/P button (see page 5).

Audio
DVD VIDEO disc playback sound level is lower than TV broadcast sound level. Set the [D.RANGE CONTROL] preference to [TV MODE] (see
page 26).
Analog audio output is distorted. Set the [OUTPUT LEVEL] preference to [LOW] (see page 26).
MP3/JPEG/MPEG-4
No sound and/or no picture comes out. MP3/MPEG-4 disc is recorded with the “packet writing (UDF
file).” It cannot be played. Check the files you want to play back.
Files (tracks) are not played in the recorded order. This player plays the files in the alphabetic order. So, the
playback order can vary.
MPEG-4 files cannot be played back. The format of the file is not asf.

Appendix D: Glossary
525i/525p/625i Indicates the number of scanning lines and scanning format of an image signal. 525i indicates 525 scanning lines with interlace format, 525p indicates 525 scanning lines with progressive format, and 625i indicates 625 scanning lines with interlace format.
ASF ASF is an abbreviation of “Advanced Streaming Format,” and is a data compression format for streaming developed by Microsoft Corporation. ASF can contain the various data types such as audio, video, and text.
Aspect ratio A ratio which defines the shape of the rectangular picture in a TV. It is the width of the picture relative to the height. A conventional TV picture is 4:3 in aspect ratio.
Bitstream The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.
Chapter/title Chapter is the smallest division and title is the largest division on DVD VIDEO. A chapter is a division of a title and similar to a track for Video CD or Audio CD.
Component video Video signals with three channels of separate information that makes up the picture. There are some types of component video, such as R/G/B and Y/CB(PB)/CR(PR).
Composite video A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization information.
Dolby Digital (AC3) A six-channel system consisting of left, center, right, left rear, right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel, for use with a sub-woofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.
Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro Logic Dolby Surround records four channels of front and rear audio in two channels in a way that allows a decoder to recover the original four channels for playback. Because the audio is recorded in two channels, it can be played back naturally by a two-channel stereo system. Dolby Pro Logic introduces directional circuits in decoder-side processing (increasing the level of specific channels and lowering the level of silent channels) for greater spatial perspective, and adds a center speaker used primarily for dialog. The result is enhanced channel separation.
Down-mix Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output connectors.
DTS A Digital Surround audio encoding format configured with six (5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital. It requires a decoder, either in the player or in an external receiver. DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.
Dynamic range The difference between the loudest and softest sounds.
Interlaced scanning In a conventional video system, a picture is shown on the display monitor in between lines of two halves. The Interlaced scanning system places lines of the second half of the picture in-between lines of the first half of the picture.

JPEG A popular file format for still image compression and storage. JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as follows. · baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, the web, etc. · progressive JPEG: used for the web · lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now
Linear PCM audio PCM stands for “pulse code modulation.” Linear PCM is the usual method for digitally encoding audio without compression, and is used for the audio tracks on DVD VIDEO discs, Audio CDs, etc.
MP3 MP3 is an audio data compression format, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data reduction of about 1:10.
MPEG-4 MPEG-4 is an audio/video data compression format, which is highly efficient and more stable than MPEG-1 and MPEG-2.
MPEG Multichannel This feature expands the 5.1 channel audio format recorded on the disc to a 7.1 channel format. The further expansion of the 5.1 channel audio makes it easy for you to reproduce the movie theater experience in your own home.
NTSC (National television system committee) A black and white and color television system format used in the U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.
PAL (Phase Alternation by Line) A color television system format used extensively in Western Europe.
PBC PBC stands for “Playback control” and is a method of controlling disc play for Video CDs (VCD). You are able to interact with the disc through menus.
Progressive scanning Progressive scanning displays all the horizontal lines of a picture at one time, as a single frame. A progressive scanning DVD player converts the interlaced (525i) video from DVD into progressive (525p) format for connection to a progressive display. It dramatically increases the vertical resolution.
S-video A video signal which improves picture quality over standard composite connections. Used on Super VHS, DVD, high end TV monitors, etc.
Track The smallest division on SVCD, Video CD and Audio CD discs.
